Art Filled Summer

Doesn't this picture make you want to stroll around in the sun, enjoying all the colors and styles of art? This summer there is a special art show on Saturdays on G Street in downtown Anchorage. It's called "Art on G Street, from studio to street". The street is closed off between 3rd and 5th to allow for casual art booth browsing. Some galleries were featuring artists that decorate their walls. Other booths were independent artist excited to have a greater audience.

My goal was to simply check out this great art happening. Say hello to any artist I knew and see how the whole program was working. I didn't get far before a booth dragged me in. Yes, dragged! I wasn't planning on buying anything and my walls are quite full. But WHOA NELLY did my heart insist I come home with some art. Keep checking the blog for pictures of what we brought home. Anyway, I highly recommend putting G Street on your summer to do list. You are sure to enjoy the 2 block trip.

This Wednesday Portage Glacier Cruises is featuring their "Art on the Lake" trip. It starts at 6:30 and is a two hour cruise around the lake and glacier. There will be music, food, wine and of course lots of art. Check my past blog for more details. Also, the Saturday market is in full swing. Many artists have booths there and it's a great way to see some Alaska art.

Here is to sunshine, relaxing days and an art filled summer.
